Highlights
"We used Murray Builders for a ground floor extension with a new kitchen and bathroom, and we are genuinely so happy with how everything turned out. The whole team, Steve, Bobby, Chris, Garry, and Tom, were all friendly, easy to talk to, and always kept us updated, which helped the whole process run smoothly. They were a pleasure to have around, always turned up on time, and stuck to the original quote. The quality of their work is excellent, and you can really tell they take pride in what they do. We would happily recommend Murray Builders to anyone looking for reliable and skilled builders."
"Steve and his team have done an excellent job for us, demolishing an old, unsafe garage and making the area smart and secure. Right from the start, nothing was too much trouble and we received good advice. Everyone communicated well about what they were doing and we are extremely satisfied with the result. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Murray Builders and will definitely come back to them for future work. Thank you!"
"We had an excellent experience with Murray Builders and would not hesitate to recommend them. They carried out works on our house while we were away - replacing ceilings, plastering and painting and decorating. They were reliable, knowledgeable and considerate and the work was of a high standard."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
